Firstly working and travelling in Europe, then settling in inner city Melbourne and becoming caregivers to Lydia a troubled teenager who tests the limits of friendship and lastly parenthood and returning to visit family in Hong Kong. At its heart it is a story of an enduring relationship between an Asian-Australian and an Australian.

Elegant and insightful, Playing House makes you realise love can be uncomplicated, and that its often the people you surround yourself with and the blessings in disguise that make life sweet.' (Publisher's blurb)
